And it came to passº
afterº
theseº
things,º
[that] Nabothº
the Jezreeliteº
hadº
a vineyard,º
whichº
[was] in Jezreel,º
hardº
byº
the palaceº
of Ahabº
kingº
of Samaria.º

21:2
And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

21:2
And Ahabº
spakeºº
untoº
Naboth,º
saying,ºº
Giveºº
meº
thy vineyard,º
that I may haveº
it for a gardenº
of herbs,º
becauseº
itº
[is] nearº
untoºº
my house:º
and I will giveºº
thee forº
it a betterº
vineyardº
thanº
it; [or], ifº
it seem goodº
to thee,ºº
I will giveºº
thee the worthº
of itº
in money.º

21:3
And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.

21:3
And Nabothº
saidºº
toº
Ahab,º
The LORDºº
forbidº
it me, that I should giveºººº
the inheritanceº
of my fathersº
unto thee.

21:4
And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

cameºº
intoº
his houseº
heavyº
and displeasedº
becauseº
of the wordº
whichº
Nabothº
the Jezreeliteº
had spokenºº
toº
him: for he had said,ºº
I will notº
giveºº
theeº
the inheritanceº
of my fathers.º
And he laid him downºº
uponº
his bed,º
and turned awayººº
his face,º
and would eatºº
noº
bread.º

21:5 ¶
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?

21:6
And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

the eldersº
and toº
the noblesº
thatº
[were] in his city,º
dwellingºº
withº
Naboth.º

21:9
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

21:9
And she wroteºº
in the letters,º
saying,ºº
Proclaimºº
a fast,º
and setººº
Nabothº
on highº

and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.

21:10
And setºº
twoº
men,ºº
sonsº
of Belial,º
beforeº
him, to bear witnessºº
againstº
him, saying,ºº

and the king.º
And [then] carry him out,ºº
and stoneºº
him, that he may die.ºº

21:11
And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

21:11
And the menºº
of his city,º
[even] the eldersº
and the noblesº
whoº
were the inhabitantsºº
in his city,º
didºº
asº
Jezebelº
had sentºº
untoº
them, [and] asº
it [was] writtenºº
in the lettersº
whichº
she had sentºº
untoº
them.

21:12
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

21:12
They proclaimedºº
a fast,º
and setººº
Nabothº
on highº

21:13
And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

21:13
And there cameºº
inº
twoº
men,ºº
childrenº
of Belial,º
and satºº
beforeº
him: and the menºº
of Belialº
witnessedºº
againstº
him, [even] againstº
Naboth,º
in the presenceº
of the people,º
saying,ºº
Nabothº
did blasphemeºº
Godº
and the king.º
Then they carried him forthºº
outº
ofºº
the city,º
and stonedºº
him with stones,º
that he died.ºº

21:14
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

21:14
Then they sentºº
toº
Jezebel,º
saying,ºº
Nabothº
is stoned,ºº
and is dead.ºº

21:15 ¶
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

Ahab,º
Arise,ºº
take possessionºº
ofº
the vineyardº
of Nabothº
the Jezreelite,º
whichº
he refusedºº
to giveºº
thee for money:º
forº
Nabothº
is notº
alive,º
butº
dead.ºº

21:16
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

toº
the vineyardº
of Nabothº
the Jezreelite,º
to take possessionºº
of it.

21:21
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel:

21:21
Behold,º
I will bringºº
evilº
uponº
thee, and will take awayºº
thy posterity,º
and will cut offºº
from Ahabº
him that pissethºº
against the wall,º
and him that is shut upºº
and leftºº
in Israel,º

21:22
and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and hast made Israel to sin.

21:22
And will makeººº
thine houseº
like the houseº
of Jeroboamº
the sonº
of Nebat,º
and like the houseº
of Baashaº
the sonº
of Ahijah,º
forº
the provocationº
wherewithº
thou hast provoked [me] to anger,ºº
and made Israelº
to sin.ºººº

21:23
And of Jezebel also spake Jehovah, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

21:23
And of Jezebelº
alsoº
spakeºº
the LORD,º
saying,ºº
The dogsº
shall eatººº
Jezebelº
by the wallº
of Jezreel.º

21:24
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.

21:24
Him that diethºº
of Ahabº
in the cityº
the dogsº
shall eat;ºº
and him that diethºº
in the fieldº
shall the fowlsº
of the airº
eat.ºº

21:25 ¶
(But there was none like unto Ahab, who did sell himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

21:25 ¶
Butº
there wasº
noneº
like unto Ahab,º
whichº
did sellºº
himselfº
to workºº
wickednessº
in the sightº
of the LORD,º
whomºº
Jezebelº
his wifeº
stirred up.ºº

21:26
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.)

21:26
And he did veryº
abominablyºº
in followingºººº
idols,º
according to allº
[things] asº
didºº
the Amorites,º
whomº
the LORDº
cast outºº
beforeºº
the childrenº
of Israel.º

21:27
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

sackclothº
uponº
his flesh,º
and fasted,ºº
and layºº
in sackcloth,º
and wentºº
softly.º

21:28
And the wordº
of the LORDº
cameº
toº
Elijahº
the Tishbite,º
saying,ºº

21:29
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

21:29
Seestºº
thou howº
Ahabº
humblethºº
himselfº
beforeºº
me? becauseºº
he humblethºº
himselfº
beforeºº
me, I will notº
bringºº
the evilº
in his days:º
[but] in his son'sº
daysº
will I bringºº
the evilº
uponº
his house.º
